The Retreat from Bull Run.

In the recently-published life of Ben
jamin F. Wade, by Hon. A. G. Riddle
of Washington-which, by the way, is
an exceedingly interesting and valu-
able contribution to bistory-I saw an
allusion to the fact that " Old Ben" as
he was called, and Senator " lack -
Chandler, with three or four other gen
tlemen under their leadership, stopped
the rout at the battle of Bull Run.
" was in congress at the time,' said
Mr.. Riddle, and the reason | went
to the battle was this: The Cleveland
Grays, commanded by General Alex
ander Mcdowell McCook, were at the
front, and were the finest company in
the finest regiment of the entire army
had promised to go to the front and
Join them in their first battle, and in
pursuance of this promise two carriage
loads of us, knowing that there was to
be fight on that memorable Sunday,
left Washington about three O'Clock in
the morning to see it. There were
Senator'S Chandler and Wade, Con-
gressmen Blake, Morris and myself
all from Ohio; Mr.. Brown, the sergeant
alarms of the senate; Major Eaton of
Michigan, friend of Mr.. Chandler's,
and Tom Brown of the treasury de-
partment, friend of Mr.. Wade's. We
got breakfast at Fairfax Courthouse
and reached the headquarters of the
army at Centerville about daylight, pro-
vided with passes from General Scott
that would take us everywhere. AT
Centerville l found that the Grays
were in the advance on the skirmish
line, so of course could not join them
as | had hoped and expected. How
ever, we left our teams at temporary
hospital near Centerville and went on,
walking into the line of battle. After
awhile, when we supposed the battle
was over, we went back to the hos,
pital, where we had left the teams
thinking that the Union troops had
been victorious, and there found sew

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonies
Of severe attack of rheumatism, neural
gia or sciatica and relief comes, il seems as
if Il new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great JOY that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
Great Falls, N H., March 25, 1886.
Some twenty-five years ago while in the
L. S. Navy, quartered at New Orleans,
like many other sailors, by constant ex-
posture became afflicted with an attack of
rheumatism, for which ! was treated by
the doctors with all sorts of medicines,
liniments, etc, but no matter what / did
take the relief was for a few moments only,
and the pain, that terrible pain, came on
me again worse than ever. Why the pain
was so sharp and sudden as to almost fell
me to the ground as though | had been
struck on the head. | continued in this
condition for years, one week in every
four. was confined to the house one day
hobbling around when friend who had
been cured of rheumatism by Athlophoros
asked me why did not give the medicine
a trial. ! had taken so much medicine
anu got no DelteT lcll sure THERE WIS
nothing to cure rheumatism, but thought
again it could do me no harm and so
bought bottle. The very first dose of Ath-
lophoros took hold of me in such way
knew il would do me good. ] continued
until two bottles were used, and my rheu-
matism of so many years standing, that
everything failed to touch, was at last gone,
and | have never suffered the leat mite
since, I tell you Athlophoros will do the
work every time. can't say enough for it.
CHAs. o. V. BAGLEY, Grocer,
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., 1l2 Wall St., New York, will
send either Carriage paid on receipt OF
regular price, which is Sl.00 per bottle

For liver and kidney diseases dyspepsia in

ga WORD TO THE WISE is SUFFI-
GENT. "-Catarrh is not simply an in
convenience, unpleasant to the sufferer
and disgusting to others-it is an adj
vanced outpost of approaching disease
of worse type. Do not neglect its
warning; it brings deadly evil in its
train. Before it is too late use DIR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy. 1t reaches
the seat of the ailment, and is the only
thing that will. You may dose your.

MANNERS are the happy way of doing
things. No man can resist their intlu-
ence. There are certain manners which
are learned in good society of that
force that, if a person have them, he
or she must be considered and is every
where welcome, though without beauty,
wealth or genius. have seen manners
that make a similar impression with
personal beauty; that give the like ex-
hilaration and refine us like that. But
they must be marked by fine percep-
ton, the acquaintance with real beauty.
Then they must be inspired by the
good heart. There is no beautitier of
complexion, or form, or behavior like
the wish to scatter joy, and not pain,
around us.-Rolph Waldo Emerson.

Hall's Catarrh Cure.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. j. Cheney Il
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure now on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a tea-spoonful. 1t acts directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.
